"Huh?"

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face became slightly strange.

The castle, the staircase, and this inexplicably eerie atmosphere, coupled with this weird setting of walking up and automatically returning to the first floor, I don't know if I think it's a horror movie plot.

But Zhang Xiao naturally knows that this is not a horror movie, it is just a nightmare at most, and even if it is a horror movie, with his current ability, will he still be afraid?

"That's what I said, but this dream ......"

What Zhang Xiao cared about was not the weirdness just now, but the weirdness that seemed to ...... Déjà vu.

After thinking about it and not coming up with a clue, Zhang Xiao looked around again, but he didn't see any follow-up reaction to the dream.

Since he said déjà vu, Zhang Xiao naturally wanted to determine if it was the situation he had in mind.

Without hesitation, Zhang Xiao walked up the stairs again.

Unlike last time, his attention had not been focused on the stairs before, but on where he could find the memories he wanted upstairs, but now he was completely focused on the inner stairs.

Step by step, Zhang Xiao slowly walked up the stairs.

The wooden staircase does not give back much noise, and in this silent environment, there is only the sound of its own slight footsteps.

Soon, however, the strange footsteps reappeared.

Da, da, da,

One by one, it completely coincided with Zhang Xiao's own, and it sounded like an echo of his own footsteps.

If Zhang Xiao's senses weren't sharp enough to keenly distinguish that the footsteps were not echoes, but came from the top of the stairs, I am afraid that he would have been blinded, and he really thought that he had encountered a ghost.

"Here we are."

The moment he heard the sound of footsteps, Zhang Xiao looked at the top of the stairs, not only with his eyes, but also with his nightmare ability, he was fully invoked, and he was engrossed and did his best.

Because if it was really what he thought, such a battle might not be enough.

Sure enough, there was still no warning, still the same as the first time he lost concentration, after the sound of footsteps that were not his own suddenly sounded in his ears, almost a second passed, and Zhang Xiao returned to the first floor.

“……”

Touching his neck speechlessly, Zhang Xiao closed his eyes and recalled for a while, as if a piece was suddenly missing, only the memory of walking up the stairs, but not the memory of returning to the first floor.

Just like a movie clip, a person who has almost touched his eyes in the face of the tip of a stabbing knife has miraculously survived after one frame (the smallest unit in video animation is a completely still picture, and it is also a frame in a motion picture film, and there are 24 frames in a second in a typical movie).

There is no reason, no result, and no process, just like the most lame directors, screenwriters and editors, because they can't make up a reasonable and logical plot, they can only make things out of nothing.

This made him feel more and more familiar, familiar with the ridiculous plot that seemed to be made up by a crappy filmmaker.

"Well, it's not more than three things, try again, if you still get nothing, it's actually equivalent to confirming my guess."

Zhang Xiao raised his feet and walked up the stairs again.

It's not that he has a big heart, and he dares to test again and again in the face of the unknown and weird, but for Zhang Xiao, he is now invincible.

You know, no matter how weird this ghost place is, after all, it's just Selma's subconscious, and the nightmare is not omnipotent here, but at least there is absolutely no possibility of being killed by someone.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to get Selma's hidden memories, Zhang Xiao would have killed all of them, so he naturally wouldn't care about the small traps in the other party's consciousness, but in order to get the other party's hidden memories, he could only play the game by abiding by the other party's rules now.

One step at a time, Zhang Xiao was still not cautious, and there was almost no difference from before, so he walked up naturally.

The sound of shoes stepping on the wooden stairs made a slight sound, but the sound was not too loud, on the contrary, compared to the footsteps he heard before, Zhang Xiao's own footsteps were definitely very light, which also made Zhang Xiao more sure that he heard that it was definitely not his own footsteps before.

And then......

Da, da, da,

There was no step-by-step, no difference between near and far, only the sudden sound of footsteps from the top of the stairs, one after the other, kept almost the same.

This time, Zhang Xiao changed his previous practice of looking at the spot, and stepped on his feet at the same time as he heard the footsteps, and quickly jumped upward, stepping up four steps in one step, almost walking to the corner of the V-shaped staircase, and seeing what was on the top of the staircase.

But the next moment, just like the lame, dog-tailed mink plot, Zhang Xiao opened his eyes and saw a staircase in front of him that he hadn't stepped up a single step.

Without any process, he didn't see any movement when his eyes were open, as if there was a completely unrelated plot between the previous frame and the next frame, and he was back in front of the stairs on the first floor in an instant.

"Heh, it's really a lame plot."

However, Zhang Xiao knows that he has not met a crappy film practitioner, although these three experiences seem to have nothing to gain, and they are all full of inexplicability, but for himself, he has become more and more sure of his previous guesses.

"SURE ENOUGH, THAT ADULT IS DIO, ......"

This time Zhang Xiao didn't step on the stairs again, he stopped in front of the stairs and looked at the second floor, but the V-shaped staircase and the floor on the second floor completely separated the first floor from the second floor, and he couldn't see anything at this angle.

Only the dark, gloomy staircase was in front of you, as if some terrible, eerie monster was hidden.

But Zhang Xiao knows that there is nothing here, and what is here is actually just a deep memory—a memory rooted in Selma's subconscious.

This memory has become this impassable staircase, which should be something that Selma has personally experienced, and it is also a plot of Zhang Xiao's déjà vu.

"The problem now is that it doesn't work."

The staircase of endless reincarnation, this is one of DIO's famous scenes in the plot, which is the famous scene where Bobo (Polunarev) sees DIO again, and almost completely loses his fighting spirit at the moment of meeting, erecting DIO's mysterious and invincible image.

But in fact, the principle of this scene is not complicated, it can even be said to be very simple, so simple that it does not match DIO's forced grid at all, but all the wrong answers are eliminated, and the rest is the correct answer.

THE REASON FOR THIS INABILITY TO WALK UP THE STAIRS IS DIO'S STAND-IN ABILITY, SMASHING VARUDO (TRANSLITERATION THEWORLD, THAT IS, THE ENGLISH NAME OF DIO'S STAND-IN WORLD), WHICH IS SIMPLY TIME STOPS.

DIO stops time with a stand-in, then moves Bobo, who saw him on the stairs, directly down the stairs, and then after time restarts (after N repetitions), he utters an almost brainwashing line: Everyone is there to overcome insecurity and fear in order to live in peace! Whether it's for fame and fortune, dominating others, or earning money, it's all for peace of mind! Getting married or making friends is also for peace of mind! Working for peace is actually making excuses for your own peace of mind! Come to me, I can give you eternal peace of mind.

Zhang Xiao naturally didn't remember this famous scene, plus he had some guesses about the blonde adult before, and the truth that the badge was an arrow, and at this time, he naturally recognized what was going on in front of him.

For the time being, let's not think about why it's not Selma in the JOJO world, and why this scene appears in my memory (that must have happened to DIO to her...... Zhang Xiao is now thinking about how to go up to the second floor.

Although this is in the subconscious, DIO is only an existence in Thelma's memory, and DIO's attack in the scene in front of him does not appear, it is obvious that this is just a subconscious defense mechanism formed by a deep-rooted impression, but on the premise of abiding by the rules, Zhang Xiao really can't go up this staircase.

Let's not talk about whether Zhang Xiao can beat this subconscious DIO, even if he can, he can't fight, because in order to get Selma's important memory, he can't destroy Selma's subconscious too much, and it is conceivable that it is impossible for two powerful stand-in messengers to fight a duel without causing huge damage.

"Hmph, it's really put on the table."

Zhang Xiao also didn't expect to encounter the tricky situation in front of Selma's subconscious, but on the other hand, this is not a bad thing.

"Although the subconscious mind will create a labyrinth, and most of them have no logic, the more important the secret, the safer the place, which is also the instinct of living beings."

Since he was stopped here by the subconscious DIO, then this ghost place must be an important place after that.

Zhang Xiao squinted and thought about it, and a strange smile gradually appeared on his face.

"DIO, let's meet you."
